AnduInOS

AnduInOS
If one is looking for Ubuntu and cannot find new Ubuntu Iso, one should try UnduInOS. One is actually Undoing the old habit of using Ubuntu. Yes,      I got the traditional Ubuntu installed in my NUC after a very long time.
Its desktop effects are fantastic. I hope Gnome wake of from slumber add some live features to its Gnome desktop. In fact, it has GDebi package and I installed Brave, Opera and Vivaldi. I am going to use this for some time till I get the hang of using it. It brings all the nostalgia of Old Ubuntu. Thank you  to the Developer Girls and Boys of UnduInOS.  
However, AnduInOS destroyed my GRUB Bootloader. Does not matter, it is once more installing Debian Gnome on its /root folder with all data intact,     in my /home folder.

Plumeria (Araliya) and Peradeniya University

Plumeria (Araliya) and Peradeniya University

Plumeria, also known as frangipani, is a genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Rauvolfioideae, of the family Apocynaceae.

Frangipani was a restaurant we use to frequent during our University days, I hope it is still functioning after the Coronavirus debacle

Most species are deciduous shrubs or small trees. 

The species are native to the Neotropical realm (in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, and as far south as Brazil and as far north as Florida in the United States) but are often grown as cosmopolitan ornamentals in tropical regions, especially in Hawaii, as well as hot desert climates in the Arabian Peninsula with proper irrigation.

Yes, a few years after my retirement, I visited Peradeniya University just to a take few photographs of them in the background.

I just forget where I kept those photographs.

I did take my regular camera and I cannot see them in the camera.

Perhaps, I copied them to the PC and deleted them from my camera.

The colours of them come from pure white to crimson and many shades.

The point I discuss today is, all these colours and flowers too, fade just like our lives fade away in our retirement as if we have never existed.

One should remind this fact on  the coming Wesak POYA DAY (not Anura type of politics), that everything in this world is transient and fluid and do not forget to meditate on that fact, when one offers flowers to Buddha.

These Niragamikoyo laugh at these meditative acts, and I am sure they would end up in Niraya.

Yes, the Niraya is the end point of Niragamikayos!

Trinity Desktop- Q4OS

Trinity Desktop- Q4OS

Q4OS is a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution designed to offer classic-style user interface (Trinity) and simple accessories, and to serve stable APIs for complex third-party applications, such as Google Chrome, VirtualBox and development tools. The system is also very useful for virtual cloud environments due to its very low hardware requirements.

My Objection to NPP and JVP is based on Buddhist Way of Life

My Objection to NPP and JVP is based on Buddhist Way of Life

Yes, my objection to NPP and JVP is based on "Buddhist Way of Life" and not based on hate but on persuasion of right thinking (Summa Dhitti) based on Ariya Ashtangika Margaya (Eightfold Path to Emancipation).

1. To begin with there was no need for Wijeweera to incite young blood and raise a revolution in Ceylon when the life and politics was peaceful in our mother land.

It was taken up by L.T.T.E and made this country a living hell aided by RAW and Indira Gandhi who thought Ceylon was a Province of India an Modi still believes his mythology of Modi's MAD Maha Barath.

2.  We have a constitution where Buddhism is enshrined (If USA can enshrine Christianity in its constitution what is wrong if it is done in Ceylon) with equal opportunity for all other religions big and small.

For that matter if somebody wants a Gus Gemmba (a tree frog) to be his religious leader s/he can do that in his or her own private life not on YouTube.

3. My biggest objection is using Month of MAY which Buddha was supposed to be born in which Buddhists devote entirely for Dhamma after the New Year festival,

It was USED for POLITICS by ANURA and His NIRAGAMIKA CLAN.

I blame Maha Nayakyaka and Diyawadena Nilmae for agreeing to "Dalada Exposition' for political propegenda.

This should never phappen again.

Yes, Mahinda Rajpaksa and his clan did it and ruied Buddhism in Ceylon.

That includes Champika Ranawana, too.

They are reaping the benefit completely thrown out of the main stream.

We do not need a second innings by Anura and the clan.

My prediction is NPP/JVP also will be thrown out unceremoniously if the continue on the same footsteps.

The average citizen needs a equitable life stream and nothing more.

System change was bizarre slogan!

Dhamma is for the MIND and not for Body Politics "is my slogan".

4. I have nothing against Nirgamika theme and according to Brahmajala Sutta there are 64 or 68 views about World Views.

5. These guys in JVP/NPP has never red a single verse in Dhmmapada representing Ceylon in a Wesak Ceremony in Vietnam is also political and an antithesis to me.

We know J.R.J who published a postage stamp by the name Dharmista Samajaya and subsequently made it a living hell for our brethren Tamil Community is still in my living memory (I was fortunately away from this country and was no part of that scheme).

The diaspora in UK is still working against and undermining our sovereign state.

That is the reality of our politics.

Once a bad thing is done it cannot be undone by visiting temples and sacred places.

If an action is not sacred it remains so in history.

Hitler is a good example and very soon Israel's history will be be worse than Hitler and a name tag to go with it.

President Trunp's unwavering support for Israel is no brainier by itself.
